GAS-FIXTURE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent N 0. 699,650, dated May 13, 1902. Application filed June 5, 1901. Serial No. 63,196. (No model.)

To (tZZ whom zit may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE F. BRYAN, a resident of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas- Fixtures,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates more particularly to portable gas-fixtures and designs to provide a fixture which can be readily attached to any permanent fixture of usual construction and which can be easily adjusted vertically into different positions for convenient use and which can be shifted into elevated position when not in use.

The invention consists in the several novel features hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly defined by claims at the conclusion hereof.

In the drawings, Figure l is a view in elevation of a gas-fixture having the preferred form of the improved portable fixture attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the bracket whereby the adjustable standard is sustained. Fig. 3 is a detail view, in central vertical section, of the bracket and a portion of the standard. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the bracket.

A denotes a fixture of usual construction, which is provided with one or more burnercarrying arms a and the usual cocks a for controlling the supply of gas through said arms. Each arm a is provided with the usual screw threaded terminal a whereto the burner is secured. In lieu of the usual burner a bracket B, having an internally-screwthreaded socket b and a port 6 is secured to terminal a A flexible tube O is secured in convenient manner to an upwardly-projecting nipple b of bracket B, extends upwardly therefrom, thence downwardly, and is socured, as at c, to the upper end of a tubular standard D, which is provided at its lower terminal with a horizontal arm (Z, which carries at its outer end a suitable burner cl. Bracket B is formed with an arm I), designed to hold the tubular standard I). Tapered sleeves D are secured to the standard and are formed to fit into a correspondingly-ta pered socket b of arm I). These sleeves serve as stops for holding the standard at different elevations in the bracket and are preferably provided with a projecting rib d which prevents the stops from becoming wedged in the socket. Bracket 13 is also formed with an opening b of sufficient size to permit the standard to be removed laterally from the bracket when adjustment thereof is desired. A strut b is formed on or secured to the supporting-bracket, engages the standard some distance below arm Z), and holds the standard in true vertical position.

It will be seen that when one of the stops D is held in the socket b of bracket B the standard and burner thereon willbe securely held. To adjust the standard vertically, the standard is lifted slightly until the stop is above socket b The standard can be withdrawn from the bracket through opening 19 raised or lowered to the desired elevation, and again secured by the stop arranged to hold the standard in desired elevation. Manifestly the standard can be thus raised or lowered and held in desired position by the stops.

The improved fixture can be readily secured to a chandelier of usual construction.

WVhen the portable fixture is not in use, it can be quickly and easily shifted to its uppermost position, as shown in the drawings,when it will be in usual position of a permanent fixture.

The invention is not to be understood as restricted to the details shown and described, but may be varied by the skilled mechanic without departing from the spirit of the i11- vention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A gas-fixture comprising the combination with a bracket formed with a screwthread whereby the bracket can be attached to the screw-threaded terminal of a fixed pipe or support, of a burner-carrying standard adjustably held in said bracket, and a flexible section secured to said standard and connected with said bracket.

2. A gas-fixture comprising the combination with a bracket formed and adapted to be attached to a fixed pipe or support, of a burner-carrying standard adjustably hold in Ion said bracket, and a flexible section secured to said standard, said bracket having a gas-port extending therethrough, said section being secured also to said bracket.

3. A gas-fixture comprising the combination with a bracket formed and adapted to be attached to a fixed pipe or support, of a burner-carrying standard, a flexible pipe-section secured to said standard and connected with said bracket, a plurality of stops on said standard, said stops being arranged to secure the standard at different elevations in said bracket.

4. A gas-fixture comprising the combination with a bracket formed and adapted to be attached to a fixed pipe or support, of a burner-carrying standard, a flexible pipe-section secured to said standard and connected with said bracket, said bracket having a socket therein and a plurality of stops on said standard, said stops fitting within said socket and being arranged to adjustably secure said standard at different elevations.

5. A gas-fixture comprising the combination with a bracket formed and adapted to be attached to a fixed pipe or support, of a burner-carrying standard, a flexible pipe-section secured to said standard and connected with said bracket, said bracket having a socket therein and an opening Wherethrough the standard can be withdrawn laterally, and a plurality of stops on said standard, said stops fitting Within said socket and being arranged to adjustably secure said standard at diiferent elevations.

6. A gas-fixture comprising the combina tion with a bracket formed with a screwthread whereby the bracket can be attached to the terminal of a fixed pipe or support, of a burner-carrying standard adjustably held in said bracket, a flexible section secured to said standard and connected with said bracket, and a strut secured to said bracket and having a seat wherein the standard will be held, to provide an additional lateral support for the standard.
